Local golf course to offer hovercraft golf carts

Neoteric Hovercraft Inc.

Later this month the Windy Knoll Golf Club in Springfield plans to become the first course in the U.S. to two Neoteric Golf hovercrafts for use as golf carts.

A Dayton-area golf facility is turning to some new age golf carts to drum up excitement.

Later this month the Windy Knoll Golf Club in Springfield plans to become the first course in the U.S. to two Neoteric Golf hovercrafts for use as golf carts.

Hall of Famer Nancy Lopez and LPGA player Paige Mackenzie will be on hand for the arrivals, along with Tim Rosaforte of NBC, Golf Channel and Golf Digest, who will serve as emcee for the news conference and dinner that follows the golf event that day.

?We wanted to be able to offer something no other course could,? said Pete Duffey, managing director. ?When we saw them on YouTube, we said ?We gotta have those!??

Each hovercraft at the course will feature a 65-horsepower engine capable of reaching speeds up to 50 mph, side-by-side seating for up to four passengers, a lift-up roof, room for two golf bags and sand bottles. They will be first be offered to events for an additional fee and eventually will be part of a V.I.P. golf package for foursomes.

?They will definitely not be for the average everyday group of golfers,? Duffey said.
